A good Friday

(No blasphemy intended with that title.)

This afternoon we took a spontaneous trip to Zurich. Despite all the trips we've taken to Zurich Airport, this was the first time we actually visited the city (although I've been a couple times on my own, most recently at last summer's Street Parade). Anyway, it was a beautiful day and it sort of made us regret that we hadn't visited sooner--we kind of take Zurich for granted. And so much for Karfreitag being a solemn day of reflection--there were thousands of people walking along the water, sitting at cafes, etc.

Then tonight after a good Swiss dinner of grilled wurst (on the new grill Gretchen just bought) and rösti, we watched the classic This is Spinal Tap. "These go to eleven." Good stuff.
